WE ARE ON OUR JOURNEY OF LINUX…….. EARLIER I HAVE JUST GIVEN AN INTRO OF LINUX, BRIEF HISTORY, SHELL, KERNEL…….. now here I am going to give you some points which tells you about how the Linux differs from other OS(WINDOWS).

As I have earlier discuss on the basics of linux, so here before starting the difference between linux and other operating systems working and their features, i want to tell you some quick review of WHAT ACTUALLY THE LINUX IS :-

LINUX IS THE KERNEL OF OPERATING SYSTEMS THAT LOOK LIKE AND PERFORM AS WELL OR BETTER THAN THE FAMOUS OPERATING SYSTEMS FROM AT & T BELL LABS. LINUS TORVALDS AND A LOOSELY KNIT TEAM OF VOLUNTEER HACKERS FROM ACROSS THE INTERNET WROTE LINUX FROM SCRATCH. IT HAS ALL OF THE FEATURES OF A MODERN , FULLY FLEDGED OPERATING SYSTEM:- TRUE MULTITASKING , VIRTUAL MEMORIES, SHARED LIBRARIES, DEMAND LOADING, SHARED, COPY-ON-WRITE EXECUTABLES, PROPER MEMORY MANAGEMENT, AND TCP/IP NETWORKING.

THE TRUE MEANING OF LINUX IS “LINUS” WHICH MEANS TO SAY “HELLO”

COMPARISON BETWEEN LINUX AND WINDOWS:-

LINUX

WINDOWS

1: LINUX IS AN MULTI-USER AND MULTITASKING OPERATING SYSTEM.

2: USERS CAN EDIT , CHANGE THE CODE, THE DESIGN OF THE OPERATING SYSTEMFOR THE BETTER USING OF THE COMPUTER.

3: LINUX EVOLVED FROM DIFFERENT ORGANISATION OR CAMPANIES LIKE RED HAT, UBUNTU, ETC.

4: IT IS CUSTOMIZABLE.

5: FREELY AVAILABLE FOR OFFICE OR HOME USE.

6: HIGH SECURITY WITH MUCH FEWER AMOUNT OF BUGS.

7: BOOT FROM EITHER PRIMARY

OR LOGICAL PARTITION AND FROM ANY HARD DISK IN COMPUTER.

8: IT SEPARATES DIRECTORIES WITH A NORMAL FORWARD SLASH. EG;- /MOUNT

9: LINUX FILES NAME ARE CASE SENSITIVE.

E.G:- “cat” AND” CAT” ARE DIFFERENT FILES IN LINUX.

1:WINDOWS IS AN SINGLE USER OPERATING SYSTEM.
2: USERS CAN’T DO ANYTHING AS IN LINUX DUE TO THE MONOPOLY POSITION OF WINDOWS.

3: ALL STAGE BY STAGE FLAVOURS OF WINDOWS COME FROM MICROSOFT.

4: IT IS NON-CUSTOMIZABLE.

5: AVAILABLE BUT EXPENSIVE.

6: ONE CAN LOGIN WITHOUT ANY ID OR PASSWORD.IT IS NOT SO SECURE AND CONTAINS MUCH FEWER BUGS.

7: WINDOWS MUST BOOT FROM A PRIMARY PARTITION AND FROM A 1ST HARD DISK.
